Solar-powered hydrogen manufacturing in Japan
Japanese empire Toshiba Corporation has actually revealed its Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R) project, on which building and construction started in July 2018, is functional. The solar-powered 10 MW hydrogen plant in Namie community, Fukushima prefecture, is stated to be able to create 1,200 typical cubic meters (Nm3) of hydrogen per hr. The periodic nature of solar generation triggered Toshiba to make the center to be able to get used to require and also provide in the grid, the firm stated. " Hydrogen generated at FH2R will certainly likewise be utilized to power fixed hydrogen gas cell systems as well as to attend to ... movement tools, fuel-cell vehicles and also buses as well as even more," Toshiba included. "The most crucial obstacle in the present phase of screening is to make use of the hydrogen power administration system to attain the ideal mix of manufacturing and also storage space of hydrogen and also power grid supply-demand harmonizing changes without making use of storage batteries." Solar energy The plant is being powered by 20 MW of solar generation ability in addition to grid power. The hydrogen produced is being delivered in trailers as well as hydrogen packages to customers somewhere else in the prefecture in addition to the Tokyo city as well as various other areas. In very early January, Toshiba appointed the H2One Station Unit, a power storage space system generating hydrogen at the Toyama City Environment Center in Toyama prefecture. According to the firm, that sort of installment can be released quickly as well as run by clients such as manufacturing facilities, harbors, airport terminals as well as bus depots. A comparable center was released at the end of December in Tsuruga City, in the Hokuriku area. Toshiba's power system as well as remedies service started a presentation of an alternative hydrogen supply chain for electrical energy generation in May 2018. The international had actually revealed in February 2016 it would certainly put even more focus on its power as well as storage space companies complying with an accountancy detraction which had actually motivated a restructure and also losses of around $6 billion in 2015.

Another 300 MW solar auction for Japan
Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has launched a procurement round for large scale PV projects, the fourth of its kind since the auction regime was introduced. The Japanese government expects to allocate 300 MW of solar power generation capacity and secure lower solar electricity prices than those allocated in the three auctions held between 2017 and 2018. The minimum size of system eligible to bid for a power supply contract has been reduced from 2 MW to 500 kW in this year’s procurement. Developers have until tomorrow to submit bids and the results will be announced on September 3. In its projections, the ministry said the average cost of solar power generation from utility scale facilities is expected to drop to ¥10/kWh ($0.093) or less by mid-2021. Disappointing returns The previous three auctions were relatively disappointing in terms of final prices and allotted capacity. An under-subscribed first exercise in November 2017 saw only 140 MW of a hoped-for 500 MW of capacity allocated, at an average price of ¥19.6/kWh. The second auction, in September, was more successful in terms of capacity, with around 197 MW secured, but still delivered a pricey lowest bid of ¥16.47. In the third exercise, finalized in January, final prices fell slightly but remained considerably higher than those seen in other mature markets, at ¥15.01/kWh. The ministry had received 38 bids but pre-qualified only 16, which offered total capacity of around 300 MW. In the event, only seven of the projects – with an aggregate capacity of 196.6 MW – secured contracts. The Agency for Natural Resources and Energy department of the ministry has admitted it had aimed to secure 1-1.5 GW of new PV capacity through the three procurement rounds.
